Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

All-Purpose Flour: Use this staple ingredient for structure and chewiness in your cookies; sift it for lightness.
Baking Soda: This little hero helps your cookies rise beautifully while keeping them tender inside.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Opt for high-quality cocoa powder to achieve deep chocolate flavor; it’s essential.
Granulated Sugar: This adds sweetness and contributes to a lovely golden color in your cookies.
Brown Sugar: Using brown sugar enhances moisture and gives the cookies that chewy texture we crave.
Butter: Softened butter provides richness; be sure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
Eggs: They bind everything together; use large eggs for best results.
Chocolate Chips: Choose semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for that melty goodness in every bite.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This step is crucial to avoid clumps later on.

Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy and light in color. You should see some serious volume here!

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The mixture should look smooth and slightly glossy.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture; fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing—this keeps our cookies tender.

Add Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows: Stir in chocolate chips and mini marshmallows with a spatula. This is where it gets fun! Picture those gooey marshmallows swirling through your dough.

Now you’re all set to bake these delectable treats! Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.

Bake them in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges look set but the centers remain soft. Let them cool on the sheet for five minutes before transferring them to wire racks—if you can resist long enough!
